God Eater Sequence: The Devourer

"Hmm, this should be unnoticeable now."

Liu Dazhi was in so much pain that he was on the verge of fainting, his triangular eyes filled with tears.

Qin Siyang walked to the kitchen, took out a bucket of cooking oil, and grabbed a knife.

"Greed comes with a price to pay."

"I am here to collect that price."

To prevent blood from splattering onto himself, Qin Siyang used a method he had envisioned for a long time.

He picked up a few books, clamped the knife between them, and set it upright on the ground.

Then he measured the distance and pulled Liu Dazhi up.

"WOO! WOO!"

Liu Dazhi was still begging for mercy.

Qin Siyang pressed against Liu Dazhi's foot, then gave his back a push. The immense force caused Liu Dazhi to fall forward, and his heart was directly pierced by the upright knife on the ground.

"WOO... WOO..."

Qin Siyang lifted Liu Dazhi up again, poured the entire bucket of cooking oil over his body, and then set the room on fire.

Seeing Liu Dazhi's corpse consumed by the flames, he then took the books that had been stained with blood from clamping the knife, along with other books in the room, and piled them on top of him to burn together. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.

Once the house was fully ablaze, Qin Siyang left the room, ran downstairs, and shouted loudly,"Fire! Run for your lives!"

Upon hearing his shouts, people immediately opened their doors to check and saw that Liu Dazhi's house was engulfed in flames.

"FIRE! It's really on fire! QUICK, PUT IT OUT!"

"Put out what fire? It's a wooden house! How are we supposed to save it? Hurry and grab your things and run."

Hiding in the shadows, Qin Siyang only left after confirming that everyone in the building had fled.

In his heart, he silently recited,'To avoid the [Fragrance Seeker], I had to set the fire. If innocent people are implicated, there is no other way. Not letting you die here is already the best I can do.'

To prevent himself from leaving too much of his scent behind, he grabbed a bag filled with food, activated his [Violence] ability, and used all his strength to escape, rushing toward the school at full speed.

He specifically took alleyways to avoid drawing attention from passersby.

While running, he found a filthy ditch and threw all the copper coins he had taken from Liu Dazhi's house into the murky water. Only after seeing them sink into the sewage did he feel at ease and leave.

As he approached the school, he finally merged into the main streets, pretending to walk casually into the campus.

Due to his incredibly strong physique, combined with the tripled agility boost from [Violence], he had escaped from Liu Dazhi's house to the school vicinity in just five to six minutes.

Moreover, Qin Siyang's expression remained unchanged, not even a single bead of sweat on his forehead.

From the moment he left home to arriving at school, only twenty minutes had passed.

'Time control was quite precise.'

Qin Siyang smiled slightly.

Twenty minutes—although slower than his usual time getting to school—it was still acceptable.

An almost perfect alibi.

Hopefully, the police could classify this case as a simple home invasion robbery as soon as possible.

In a few days, once the situation calmed down, it would be time for him to register at the Sequence Ability User Management Bureau.

"This feeling of having a noose around my neck is worse than suffocation. From now on, I must be cautious and never let anyone get a hold of me again."

Arriving at school, he maintained his usual calm demeanor.

No one could have imagined that just ten minutes ago, he had killed someone.

Qin Siyang did not head straight to the classroom but instead went to the library.

Teacher Zhu was already sitting there, sipping hot water.

"Oh? Xiao Qin, why are you here so early again?"

"I just came to have a look. You can stay seated. Some students might come to borrow workbooks in the morning, so I'll help with the registration."

"This isn't right! Your most important task right now is studying. I don't need your help. Hurry up and go to your morning self-study."

Qin Siyang grinned,"Teacher Zhu, you know my grades well. Does it make any difference whether I study or not?"

"Rather than wasting time in the classroom, I'd rather come here and help you clean up. Don't you think so?"

"You kid… sigh!"

Qin Siyang had already dealt with everything that needed handling. The only thing left was to wait for the aftermath to unfold.

As for the classroom, he had already asked about the Sequence Ability admission policies yesterday, and there was no more useful information for him there.

Sitting there in a daze wouldn't bring any sudden inspiration.

He might as well help Teacher Zhu with her workload.

Qin Siyang put down his bag with his lunchbox, took his place at the borrowing desk, and waited for students to come and check out workbooks.

"Hello, I'd like to borrow..."

Hearing a soft female voice, Qin Siyang looked up, only to find it was Wen Shu.

However, her face seemed even more swollen than yesterday.

Qin Siyang frowned,'That Li Jingwen... she dared to hit her again?'

'Does she really not care about her relationship with Zhou Yang anymore?'

But after taking a closer look, he noticed that Wen Shu's face was bruised, not freshly injured.

Wen Shu seemed surprised to see him too. She lowered her head and avoided eye contact.

Qin Siyang registered the workbook she was borrowing and casually asked,"Did your grandmother worry about you?"

Wen Shu looked up at Qin Siyang upon hearing this. He couldn't quite decipher the meaning behind her gaze.

It felt like... she was looking at a strange person?

Wen Shu shook her head,"She doesn't know."

"She doesn't know?"

Wen Shu didn't answer further, took her workbook, and left.

After she was gone, Teacher Zhu said,"Her grandmother is old. I heard she went blind two years ago and can't see anything. Wen Shu takes care of everything for her, so she probably doesn't know about her swollen face."

"Sigh, I wonder who hit her so hard. Even a well-behaved and good student like Wen Shu gets beaten. This school really gets worse every year."

Teacher Zhu sighed and continued venting to Qin Siyang about the declining school environment.

Before the apocalypse, she had already been teaching at this school. She had dedicated most of her life to Ju'an School and had deep emotional ties to it.

So, seeing the students becoming more and more reckless and self-destructive pained her greatly.

Qin Siyang comforted Teacher Zhu for a while.

At the same time, he thought about what she had just said regarding Wen Shu's family situation, and he couldn't help but feel a twinge of sympathy.

He found it amusing.

His own life was already miserable enough, yet he still couldn't stand seeing others suffer misfortune.
